db alteration prices

Arianna, love this dress on you!! The skirt is so whimsy 🌸🌼🌺 I had my alterations done in a small bridal boutique, I had a simple dress (not a ball gown) that needed a bustle and alterations under the arms. The total was $500. Certainly will depend on the type of dress, how complicated the fabric is, etc. Sorry I don’t have the exact info you are seeking, but just wanted to share as a frame of reference.

Congratulations on finding your dress! That skirt is going to look like you’re floating on a cloud when you dance! 💕
As far as adding a corset, are you talking about adding an internal corset to give you shape and support? Or just a lace up corset back?

View Quoted Comment Thank you!! Oh wow thank you so much. That’s really helpful!

View Quoted Comment Thank you!! Well they told me if I did a lace up corset back it would help hold the shape and support so that’s what I’m thinking. I will be wearing a closet/long lined bra under at well to help as well.

View Quoted Comment Gotcha. The reason I asked is because my friend’s sister had a similar dress that she had a corset and bustle added to. This was her dress (sorry such poor quality)

The corset was $200 and the bustle was $350

View Quoted Comment Oh wow!! That’s very very helpful!! Thank you

View Quoted Comment You bet! 😊

Your dress is beautiful

View Quoted Comment Thank you!!🥰🥰

I have this dress too! It’s so pretty!
I had my alterations fitting last week. She had to take it in on the sides a little and I had her attach my long line bra to the dress so I wouldn’t have to worry about the dress slipping down.
As for the hem, they actually pull it up within the ruffles rather than actually hem it. And I had her pull the train up a little because it was really longer than I wanted. With all of that it was $320.

David’s bridal made significant changes to my dress (for instance I had a corset removed and a zipper installed, let out to accommodate zipper then taken in to fit me, and a bustle) and it was all less then $300. I was very pleased with the pricing.

View Quoted Comment Oh wow! I’ll definitely have to look into it. Thank you so much!!

View Quoted Comment Oh wow that’s not bad at all!! Thank you so much!!

View Quoted Comment You’re welcome! Unless you want the back to have a corset look versus the zipper, it really isn’t necessary. Get a good long line bra and they will take the dress in at the sides to make it fit well. I’d think that would be a less expensive option too than changing the back to a corset. Of course if that is the look that you want then go for it!

View Quoted Comment It’s to make it a little bigger and I want to lose weight but I can’t always stick with it so I think a corset would be helpful but I see what your saying.
